Amazon stock is recovering

Disney, Netflix, and Amazon stocks followed a similar trend. Was the recovery in Amazon stock better than Disney and Netflix? Let’s find out.

The stocks are being impacted by various cues like earnings, trade wars, and rising competition. The trade war between the US and China seems to be taking a toll on equity markets. China devalued the yuan in retaliation to President Trump’s additional tariffs.

Why did Amazon stock fall?

Amazon (AMZN) stock fell 3.2% on Monday and recovered 1.3% on Tuesday. Amazon stock has fallen about 4.2% in August. Apart from the falling equity market, the stock was impacted by the news that Jeff Bezos sold shares in the company.

Now, Amazon has launched Amazon music benefits for its Prime student members. The members can access unlimited music for $0.99 per month. Students who aren’t Prime members get a free six-month trial. Amazon wants to attract younger consumers to its streaming service.

In a press release, Amazon Prime’s vice president, Cem Sibay, said, “With Prime Student, members can enjoy this new music benefit along with exclusive student offers throughout the year, making it easy to access the best of shopping and entertainment from Prime at a great value.”

Also, Amazon stock fell after the release of its second-quarter results. A lower earnings guidance for the next quarter and higher cost pressures impacted Amazon stock. The company is looking forward to improving its one-day delivery infrastructure, which is increasing its cost.
